Chennai,
Aug
05:
Tamil
Nadu
Chief
Minister
M
K
Stalin
has
changed
his
Twitter
profile
picture,
putting
up
a
photograph
of
M
Karunanidhi
with
the
Indian
tricolour
in
the
background,
while
stating
his
late
father
had
ensured
flag
hoisting
rights
for
CMs.

Stalin,
also
president
of
the
ruling
DMK,
changed
his
picture
days
after
Prime
Minister
Narendra
Modi
put
a
‘tiranga’
(Tricolour)
as
the
display
picture
of
his
social
media
accounts
and
urged
people
to
the
same
as
part
of
a
collective
effort
to
celebrate
the
national
flag
to
mark
75
years
of
the
country’s
independence.

”Muthamil
arignar
(Tamil
scholar)
Kalaignar
ensured
the
right
of
state
Chief
Ministers
hoisting
the
(national)
flag
on
August
15
in
1974,”
Stalin
said
in
a
tweet.

The
display
picture
showed
the
late
Karunanidhi,
flanked
by
officials,
descending
steps,
presumably
at
the
Fort
St
George
here
where
the
state
Secretariat
is
located,
with
the
Indian
national
flag
fluttering
atop
a
tall
mast
behind
him.

”#NewProfilePic,” Stalin
added.
